Anyway, there are some relevant RFC's:

3234 Middleboxes: Taxonomy and Issues. B. Carpenter, S. Brim. February
     2002. (Format: TXT=62329 bytes) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

2979 Behavior of and Requirements for Internet Firewalls. N. Freed.
     October 2000. (Format: TXT=14350 bytes) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

I recommend reading through both of them.
